Trends of Chronic Liver Disease in a Tertiary Care Centre in the Eastern Part of India: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

Aim of the study: To assess the relationship between the severity of liver cirrhosis and its outcomes based on laboratory parameters, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy findings.Background: Cirrhosis is the end stage of chronic liver disease (CLD) and is characterised by progressive liver fibrosis and distortion of the liver architecture. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Cirrhosis is compensated in the initial stages and later progresses to the decompensated stage with various complications. The CTP scoring system predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis.
